A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

Tony Granger wins golden “bully” award!

It’s fairly common knowledge amongst the Adverati that Tony
Granger is a bit of a fucking wanker. Apart from acquiring a reputation for
creating campaigns specifically created to win award’s, even if they didn’t
actually run, he hasn’t produced anything of note since being hired for
mega-bucks as Global Creative Nozzle at Y&R… Perhaps he will ride to the
rescue of JC Penny before it sinks into the mire, but I wouldn’t get your hopes
up. Anyway, on the other side of the globe, a big stink is happening in OZ as all
the dirty fucking washing is being aired as ex-CD, Paul Fishlock wins his wrongful
dismissal case against Campaign Palace. You can read all the sordid details on OZ
ad site, Mumbrella.com. Here are a couple of tasty bits…

“The reputation of Young & Rubican’s global
creative director Tony Granger certainly takes a battering in my view. The word
“bully” is a hard one to come back
from.”

“Mr Mackay, when asked about a number of emails which passed between
himself and Mr Granger, described Mr Granger as “an arrogant leader in New York”. A little later he described Mr
Granger as lacking “commercial savvy” and also as a “bully”. He said: ‘One needs to humour bullies and the way that one does it is as I have outlined in these
emails’.”
